In a Brittle Mediterranean Climate ANY Mistake has a Serious Effect on Plants and Animals.

Welcome to the Svarte Dalmolino farm Andalusia, Spain. It's raining a bit, but the moment I put my umbrella up and take the camera out, then it stops. This is the inflow in the creek. Not much. Okay, don't be shy. Okay, it's all over. Still some black clouds. But here I walk in the umbrella shade. Yeah, such is life. I'm now dressed to kill but nowhere to go with my rain suit, boots, umbrella. No water in here. Yeah, that smells good. Feels good. We might have received half an inch, 10 millimeters. And this is a brittle environment, brittle nature, a brittle climatic area. First of all, twice a year nature shuts down. And so there's only six, seven months that things can actually grow normally. Outside of that, it's two, three month blocks where things should grow. Like we had the apricots they produced in April, end of April. They were ripe. They do it right. Before the heat comes, they produce their fruit. Now the kamut might fall over and then it will be quite a task to harvest them. And then there was silence. Okay, welcome. Some drops. We actually started planting in this area. Some squash and cucumber and pumpkin and things like that. Let's see, let's see. Here in this side canal. We are thankful. Doesn't sound like, but we are. A little bit more will be great. So this is 81 days since water came from higher up in the creek from the neighbor down the creek to our land without watering. Water coming down. Should water come down the creek today, then it was 81 days since the last time, but we might go to 82 and more days. During this 81 days, without water coming from upstream in the creek down to us, it hasn't been hot as such. Two, three days we had 30 degrees, but most of the time around 20, 22. That's why things are still green. This is clay soil, so the water is absorbed and kept for quite some time until it's baked into a brick. That has not happened yet. So the water is absorbed quite readily and that is good. Still some water here in the western pond. Till next time.
